However, these three methods still have drawbacks. Intermittent bubbling carbonation produces products with uneven particle distribution; while multi-stage spray carbonation and centrifugal method produce more uniform products compared to intermittent bubbling carbonation, they require larger equipment footprints and consume more energy.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Among the production methods of nano-calcium carbonate, carbonation is the mainstream process. Carbonation is further divided into three main process routes: intermittent bubbling carbonation, multi-stage spray carbonation, and centrifugal method. All three methods for preparing nano-calcium carbonate have drawbacks. Intermittent bubbling carbonation produces products with uneven particle distribution; while multi-stage spray carbonation and centrifugal method produce more uniform products compared to intermittent bubbling carbonation, they require larger equipment footprints and consume more energy.

[0039] In view of this, the present invention provides a nano-calcium carbonate preparation device, comprising: a carbon dioxide delivery component 100, a spray reaction tank 200, and a separation component 300, wherein both the carbon dioxide delivery component 100 and the separation component 300 are connected to the spray reaction tank 200; the carbon dioxide delivery component 100 includes a first air compressor 110 and a pressure stabilizing tank 120, the outlet pipe of the first air compressor 110 is connected to the pressure stabilizing tank 120, and the outlet pipe of the pressure stabilizing tank 120 is connected to the spray reaction tank 200; the top of the spray reaction tank 200 is provided with a spray head 210 for spraying calcium hydroxide solution, and the spray reaction tank 200 is provided with a pressure reducing valve 220; the separation component 300 includes a filtration mechanism 310 for solid-liquid separation of the nano-calcium carbonate generated by the reaction and the calcium hydroxide solution.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 Carbon dioxide gas is compressed by the first air compressor 110, and the pressure is controlled by the pressure stabilizing tank 120. The pressure reducing valve 220 also controls the pressure during the reaction inside the spray reaction tank 200. The spray head 210 sprays calcium hydroxide solution into the spray reaction tank 200, effectively increasing the contact area between carbon dioxide gas and calcium hydroxide solution. The resulting nano-calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide solution can be separated into solid and liquid phases by the suction filtration mechanism 310, and then dried to obtain nano-calcium carbonate.

[0041] The nano-calcium carbonate preparation device improves the particle distribution uniformity of the product by controlling the carbon dioxide gas pressure and increasing the contact area between carbon dioxide gas and calcium hydroxide solution. Moreover, it has a small overall footprint, low energy consumption, and low preparation cost.

[0042] The vacuum filtration mechanism 310 is a common mechanism in the mechanical field for achieving solid-liquid separation, and its structure will not be described here.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the carbon dioxide delivery assembly 100 further includes a pressure swing adsorber 130, the outlet pipe of which is connected to the first air compressor 110, and the pressure swing adsorber 130 is used to concentrate carbon dioxide gas.

[0044] The pressure of the pressure swing adsorber 130 is initially set between 0.2-1 MPa, at which point carbon dioxide is adsorbed into the dehydrated silica gel, activated carbon, and zeolite within the adsorber. The pressure is then reduced to 5-10 kPa, releasing the adsorbed carbon dioxide. This process concentrates carbon dioxide from 10%-20% concentration to approximately 40%, achieving both enrichment and emission of the carbon dioxide gas. The concentrated carbon dioxide gas then enters the first air compressor 110 for further pressurization.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the carbon dioxide delivery assembly 100 further includes a washing bottle 140, the outlet pipe of which is connected to the pressure swing adsorber 130.

[0046] The water washing bottle 140 can remove small amounts of impurities such as sulfur dioxide and dust from the gas, thereby improving the purity of carbon dioxide gas. The gas after being treated by the water washing bottle 140 then enters the pressure swing adsorber 130.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the carbon dioxide delivery assembly 100 further includes a second air compressor 150 and a gas collection tank 160. The second air compressor 150 is connected to the gas collection tank 160, and the exhaust gas is collected in the gas collection tank 160 through the second air compressor 150. The outlet pipe of the gas collection tank 160 is connected to the water washing bottle 140.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 The main component of the exhaust gas emitted by the coal-fired power plant is carbon dioxide. The exhaust gas is compressed and collected into the gas collection tank 160 by the second air compressor 150. The gas in the gas collection tank 160 is then injected into the water washing bottle 140 to remove impurities.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the spray reaction tank 200 is connected to an air inlet pipe, and the air outlet pipe of the pressure stabilizing tank 120 is connected to the air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe is provided with multiple air holes along its axial and radial directions.

[0050] The air inlet pipe installed at the bottom of the spray reaction tank 200 has a diameter of 10-20mm. Four 2mm diameter air holes are arranged along the same transverse cross-section, with each 2cm interval between them. Carbon dioxide gas enters the spray reaction tank 200 through the air inlet pipe.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the spray head 210 is connected to an inlet pipe 230, and the other end of the inlet pipe 230 is connected to a calcium hydroxide solution delivery assembly 400.

[0052] The calcium hydroxide solution enters the inlet pipe 230 through the calcium hydroxide solution delivery assembly 400, and is then sprayed into the spray reaction tank 200 through the spray head 210.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the calcium hydroxide solution delivery assembly 400 includes a solution tank 410, an aging tank 420, and a delivery pump 430. The aging tank 420 and the filtration mechanism 310 are both connected to the solution tank 410 via pipelines. The calcium hydroxide solution in the solution tank 410 is delivered to the inlet pipe 230 by the delivery pump 430. A stirring mechanism is provided in the aging tank 420 to stir and dissolve the calcium hydroxide to form a saturated solution.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 First, calcium hydroxide is fully dissolved in aging tank 420 by stirring mechanism to form saturated solution. Then, the saturated solution is pumped into solution tank 410. At the same time, the calcium hydroxide solution separated by suction filtration mechanism 310 is also injected into solution tank 410. Finally, the saturated calcium hydroxide solution in solution tank 410 is injected into liquid inlet pipe 230 by transfer pump 430.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the spray reaction tank 200 is provided with a discharge pipe, and the separation component 300 also includes a storage tank 320. The discharge pipe is connected to the top of the storage tank 320, and the bottom of the storage tank 320 is connected to the suction filtration mechanism 310 through a pipeline.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 The spray reaction tank 200 is equipped with a discharge pipe at the bottom. The suspension generated by the reaction is stored in the storage tank 320 through the discharge pipe. Then, the suspension in the storage tank 320 is placed into the suction filtration mechanism 310, so that the nano calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide solution generated by the reaction can be separated into solid and liquid.

[0057] It should also be noted that the spray reaction tank 200 is equipped with an exhaust gas discharge structure, which can discharge the gas remaining in the spray reaction tank 200 after the reaction.

[0058] The workflow of the nano-calcium carbonate preparation apparatus in this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] The exhaust gas emitted from the coal-fired power plant is compressed and collected in a gas collection tank 160 by a second air compressor 150. The outlet pipe of the gas collection tank 160 is connected to a water washing bottle 140 to remove small amounts of sulfur dioxide and dust impurities from the gas. The outlet pipe of the water washing bottle 140 is connected to a pressure swing adsorber 130 to enrich and release carbon dioxide gas. The outlet pipe of the pressure swing adsorber 130 is connected to a first air compressor 110. The gas enters the first air compressor 110 and a pressure stabilizing tank 120 for pressurization, and the pressurized gas enters a spray reaction tank 200.

[0060] Calcium hydroxide is first dissolved in aging tank 420 by stirring mechanism to form a saturated solution. Then the saturated solution is pumped into solution tank 410. Finally, the calcium hydroxide saturated solution in solution tank 410 is injected into inlet pipe 230 by transfer pump 430 and then sprayed into spray reaction tank 200 through spray head 210.

[0061] The suspension generated by the reaction of carbon dioxide gas and calcium hydroxide saturated solution in the spray reaction tank 200 is stored in the storage tank 320. Then, the suspension in the storage tank 320 is placed into the suction filtration mechanism 310 to achieve solid-liquid separation of the nano-calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide solution generated by the reaction. After drying the finished product, nano-calcium carbonate can be obtained.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
